Ohh no I'm talking about MP hahah. I didn't get a single race in the demo and I bought a lot of packs... I guess they weren't lying when they said they made it easier to get other characters.

 

[PWN3R]

That doesn't really bother me in the slightest.

Spoiler

I'm just glad I get to see what a Quarian looks like at all to be honest.

Why build it from scratch when you can save money with a stock photo? It's not like she just looks human.

[BLACKOUT]But she does! She looks exactly like a human. Part of my initial curiosity to romance Tali in ME2 was in order to see her face. But then you get to know her, and she's the best. I haven't finished my ME3 play-through yet, but I did receive the best outcome with Tali on her homeworld....

...it's just sad. Waiting this long to see the Quarians, to see Tali, and that's what we get? One photo? It was still an awesome moment, but c'mon.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[TX85]

I should of done the DLC stuff first and THEN finish the story,I did the story then went for the Ahes/Prothean guy stuff

He wants some Reaper War action But all I can offer him are side-mission&exploration stuff!

Maybe I can make it up to him in using him in the next DLC!,Which reminds me..What are the next known DLC packs?

Better being a photo than nothing at all,Plus"a picture speaks a thousand words"

Ran into Crazy Conrad again...

Spoiler

And he dies too! GEEEEEEZE bioware!

 

[zenith16]

I just realized this where are all your readiness's at ? If so many[BLACKOUT] dieing [/BLACKOUT] it might be due to that.

Spoiler

He doesn't die if you did Rita's quest in ME1.

 

[Benstamania]

D'oh! On my blaze through of ME1 I forgot to do her quest.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

In any case I finished the game.

Spoiler

It was so perfect, so damned perfect right up UNTIL Harbinger trashes Shepard. The battle for Earth was just like I imagined and the scale and the weight of it all was just right.

Conceptually I think the endings are brilliant and ambitious, and there's a logic to the series ending with the destruction of the Mass Relays, but execution wise it just doesn't feel right. I didn't like the Normandy just ending up on some alien world just cuz and along with your team mates no less stranding them effectively.

And while the game had gone a long way to give a lot of closure in terms of their relationships to Shepard and each other I feel like with the way it ended I needed closure in terms of their new situation.

My score for this game fluctuated. First few hours I was leaning towards an 8, then the game picked up and stayed that way for most of its run and I was thinking a 9 and then that ending came and I feel like I'm back at an 8 if only because so much of what preceded it was really great.

Will need to think on this.

 

[Soapy]

Did you watch the scene after the credits?

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Did you watch the scene after the credits?

Spoiler

With the old man telling the kid the story?

Sure, why?

 

[BrollySupersj]

Is anyone experiencing star clusters disappearing? There are a few side quests I have that require me to go the Hades Nexus cluster, to get the object I need, but it's not on the star chart. Are these side quests timed or something? I also thought of the possibility that I did the quest and haven't completed it. I tried that out, looking for the person I was supposed to fetch the object for. But I didn't find anything. Are some clusters reserved between the discs?

 

[jacobed]

Payday today which means I can finally buy this game

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Ran into some old faces from ME2. Those encounters were great, and sad as well. On the Citadel. Kelly really suffered alot worse than I thought she had from the Collector's.

And...Miranda...

Pretty sure she'll show up again. It'd be weird as hell if she didn't. That, or it'd be DLC.

Oh, and hands down the greatest thing ever has to be BLASTO 6: PARTNERS IN CRIME.

Genius.

 

[imaperson2]

My shipment is FINALLY coming in today...perfect timing as I'm just finishing ME2!

 

[BrollySupersj]

Did anyone feel absolutely great when...

Spoiler

You were able to get the Quarians and Geth to be at peace? Man I had the best feeling ever when I accomplished that. A shame Legion had to sacrifice himself though...

How?


I really want to know.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Spoiler

Is there any point to Shepard surviving the Destroy ending? I mean I doubt we're going to see him again.

Spoiler

I think it's to allow fans to legitimately be able to imagine their happily ever after. Shepard lives. Can reunite with others. Has family, etc. |
Or to just make you feel more like a BA then you already were.
To quote Bender from Futurama: "Man, what does it take to kill me?"

Thane, Mordin, and Legion just emphasized to me in this game what I already knew to be true. Those guys are awesome bamf.

 

[Matt]

I really can't think of a reason

[blackout]Not to sabotage the Krogan cure other than feeling like I am personally betraying Wrex.[/blackout]

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

[BLACKOUT] Its actually a nice parallel to the Reapers and how they impose order on chaos by committing genocide against organic races. Probably my favorite dilemma in the game. [/BLACKOUT]

Spoiler

How about the fact that the Dalatrass wants you to dispose of Mordin to do it? And you'd be issuing the genocide of a whole race?

[blackout]This is a race that used nuclear war to destroy their home planet (before the Genophage according to Eve). This is a race that when exposed to the rest of the galaxy used asteroids as weapons. It feels very dangerous to let them live unchecked. Hell, even Wrex admits that they will need ten planets to home all of the new Krogans.[/blackout]
